Having garnered some attention in the early days for their unhinged and often calamitous live shows in Leeds, the band came back out of obscurity following the unlikely radio hit ‘Alternative Facts’, clocking in at an uncompromising ten minutes (listen here https://song.link/gb/i/1436887123). The song, one of the last releases for the legendary Too Pure Singles Club (RIP) immediately caught the attention of BBC 6 Music DJ Marc Riley. Mush have since gone on to do 4 live sessions with Marc Riley. Notably the Gig Economy single made it onto the BBC6 playlist and made it to number 8 in the UK Vinyl chart for singles.

Songwriter Dan Hyndman, explains the genesis of the band as being ‘fairly boiler plate’ a combination of friends old and new converging in Leeds post-uni to form a band predominantly united in their mutual affection for the Pavement back catalogue. The band’s progression has taken them fairly far afield from this original simplistic vision.
